The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has issued a warning about five suspected fraudulent websites: "www.ssgahk.com", "www.ssgahk.net", "mn.daofu5.com", "my.daofu5.com" and "www.daofu100.com". The site claimed they were operated by State Street Bank and Trust Company, a licensed bank in Hong Kong. The bank has stated they are not associated with these fraudulent sites and the Police are investigating.
At the time of writing, four of the sites were still active on Mainland China IP addresses and showing either an investor login page or a garish products and services introduction.
Anyone who has used the sites should contact State Street Bank and Trust Company at 2840 5484 and any local police station or the Commercial Crime Bureau of the Hong Kong Police Force at 2860 5012.
